Positioned as a mid-size SUV, with a possible name of HiPhi Y, the new model is designed with a subtle design language that is less aggressive and more ordinary than other HiPhi models. 

Although, HiPhi’s signature programmable headlights and display are kept in the new model’s design. The hood of the car is decorated with a light strip and sporty air intake. In addition, according to photos released by the MIIT, several cameras around the body and a LiDAR unit on the front windshield are quite distinct.

Moreover, the electric SUV is mounted with ternary lithium-ion batteries from China’s major battery maker CATL.
